Why book smarts difference in the success - an explanation of multiple intelligences

What comes first to mind when I say intelligence? can likely that your mind conjures up images of Albert Einstein or a person who figures in his head like a computer for calculation. This intelligence is known as the logical-mathematical intelligence, and is the predominant form of intelligence assessment in our academic system today. While the superior performance of such a kind of intelligence you get a good grade in most schools, does not causeSuccess, happiness, or success in life, in and of itself.

Famous failures in the classroom

At the turn of the 19th Century, for example, a partially deaf boy with attention deficit disorder in the house of his teacher sent a note to his parents that the boy was "stupid and unteachable." This marked the end of the education of these kids. As an adult, the class has gone to school failure, the greatest scientific minds of his time and academic theorists challenge with the inventionThomas Alva Edison - the world's first light bulb sustainable and has been immortalized in history as the most prolific inventors of the modern era.

At the beginning of the 19th century, a border humble guy, he lives in a log cabin of one room in Kentucky, he left elementary school after only 18 months - never set foot in a classroom. This boy had a voracious appetite for books and mastery, but everything from the Bible, books of law. In reality, the young self-taughtWay in his professional career as a lawyer, who opened the door for him to go into politics. On November 6, 1860, was the man with only 18 months in the sixteenth level of education elected president of the United States and went to one of the inspirational president of all time - Abraham Lincoln.

The nine different intelligences

It 's a pity that the logical-mathematical intelligence is the dominant form of intelligence to rateStudents in educational institutions today. Indeed, there are nine different types of intelligence to Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, who published his theory of multiple intelligences in 1983. The following is a description of the nine intelligences:

1. the logical intelligence (number / reasoning smart)

This is having the ability to calculate and quantify, and complete mathematical operations. Use inductive and deductivePatterns.
